Abhyanga

Nourish your body with a warm medicated oil that is applied to various parts of the body, including the head and the feet.

Regular oil application removes excess waste from the skin, increases muscle tone and flexibility of the joints, and stimulates the nervous system.

An infused herbal oil application can be applied according to your unique constitution, which can be discovered during an Initial Assessment as part of the Master Wellness Plan or an Initial Consultation. If your unique constitution is unknown, the clinician will use a tridoshic oil suitable for all.

Pre-Treatment Instructions for Ayurvedic Bodywork

Transition Timing

  • Arrive 15 minutes before the appointment to have ample time to review your paperwork without feeling rushed. The practitioner will explain your service and give you an opportunity to ask questions about the treatment or discuss any concerns. Please discuss any recent areas of pain or surgical procedures with your practitioner prior to the treatment.

  • It is common to be so relaxed in your treatment that you might fall asleep. If this happens the practitioner will allow you to receive the treatment in this restful state. It would be beneficial to leave extra time in your daily schedule transition out of the relaxed state and to avoid the need to rush out. If for any reason you need to leave early, please inform the practitioner who will accommodate the treatment plan to include transition time.

  • If you are receiving a Shirodhara treatment, you may feel very relaxed. Taking an Uber or getting a driver to bring you to and from the appointment would be beneficial, especially if this is your first treatment. Otherwise allowing for more time to go for a walk before driving can be advisable.

What to Bring

  • Your Ayurvedic Bodywork treatment uses oils that are intended to stay on the body after you leave to shower at home. For this reason, please bring or wear clothing and socks that you know could be soiled by oil.

  • A water bottle of warm or room temperature water to stay hydrated.

  • A comb to smooth out your oiled hair.


Shirodhara

This combination treatment works for a total body experience using Abhyanga bodywork and oil application to prepare for a targeted application of a secondary treatment. Shirodhara is a method of a steady stream of warm medicated oil application to forehead then massaged through head and hair.

Shirodhara (30 Minutes): $80

Shirodhara (45 Minutes): $100

Shirodhara (60 Minutes): $125

An initial consultation is required to book a Shirodhara appointment.
